Fuel Tech awarded APC orders

Fuel Tech, Inc., a world leader in advanced engineering solutions for the optimisation of combustion systems and emissions control in utility and industrial applications, have announced the receipt of multiple air pollution control (APC) contracts from customers in Europe and China. These awards have an aggregate value of approximately US$2.9 million.

An order was received in Europe for a new natural gas-fired unit located in the Pacific Rim, which will include Fuel Tech’s Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) and ULTRA® technologies. Fuel Tech’s ULTRA process provides for the safe and cost effective on-site conversion of urea to ammonia for use as a reagent where SCR is used to reduce NOX, eliminating the hazards associated with the transport, storage and handling of anhydrous or aqueous ammonia. Equipment delivery is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2017 (4Q17)-.

A contract in China was received for NOXOUT® Selective Non-Catalytic Reduction (SNCR) systems for two coal-fired utility boilers. Fuel Tech’s SNCR technology is a proven solution as combustion unit owners look to comply with more stringent NOX control requirements. Equipment deliveries are scheduled for completion during the 3Q17.

Vincent J. Arnone, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We have announced approximately US$12 million in new orders thus far in 2017. Through our ongoing global business developments efforts, we are well-positioned to pursue those opportunities that leverage our ability to provide safe, cost-effective environmental and emission control solutions for units utilising a variety of fuel sources, including natural gas.”
